Answer 2

You should try these for this problem in api:-

1)change the value in the file /app/code/core/Mage/Api2/Model/Auth.php, change the value of: DEFAULT_USER_TYPE = 'guest' to DEFAULT_USER_TYPE = 'admin'.

2)change the value in the file /app/code/core/Mage/Api2/Model/Auth/Adapter.php, change this line from return (object) array('type' => Mage_Api2_Model_Auth::DEFAULT_USER_TYPE, 'id' => null); to this: return (object) array('type' => Mage_Api2_Model_Auth::DEFAULT_USER_TYPE, 'id' => '1'); (note:only change null to '1').

3)restart your server(for apache run this command: sudo service apache2 restart). i hope these steps will solve your 403 access denied problem.

Thanks to chanz up there, I found the solution to my own issue.

It doesn’t seem to accept the OAuth parameters as query string parameters. I tried sending them as HTTP headers instead and it’s going through.

Surely, make sure you have the right settings at System > Web Services > Web Roles and System > Web Services > Web Attributes.

It is also helpful to use the Ruby oAuth library because "it’s clean, simple and works well". See post there.
